On DT platforms, the module-instance and antenna-sku-info properties
are passed in the DT. On ACPI platforms, module-instance is passed via
the analogous Apple device property mechanism, while the antenna SKU
info is instead obtained via an ACPI method that grabs it from
non-volatile storage.

Add support for this, to allow proper firmware selection on Apple
platforms.

If the strings treated here are exactly the same as for the device tree,
you should be able to just use "devprops" (firmware node) to handle it
abstractly, and then the respective DT and ACPI backend will provide
the properties.

I don't know if this patch I made recently is enough of an examples:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-hwmon/20211206020423.62402-2-linus.walleij@linaro.org/ (local)

If the ACPI and DT differs a lot in format and strings etc it may not
be worth it.
